| Buy It, Sell It, Make Money: Your Guide to Finding and Reselling Luxury Goods for Personal Wealth | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Buy It, Sell It, Make Money is not about clipping coupons to save twenty cents on a bottle of ketchup. It's about spending wisely to increase your buying power and living richly without working a high-powered job and earning a million-dollar paycheck.
With their unique Flipster System, Daren and Nancy Baughman show you how to find, purchase, and resell luxury items for a remarkable profit. They teach you what to buy and where, how to sell and where, which risks to take, how to negotiate, and ways to avoid common-and costly-mistakes. They keep you apprised of current trends and styles and explain the "trading up" principle so that you can get the high-end goods that most people only dream of owning. The Baughmans also show you how to invest wisely by distinguishing quality goods from mass-made, production-line pieces with a categorized field guide to buying (including "good," "better," and "best" name-brand items for the resale market). Don't be fooled by get-rich-quick schemes promising unbelievable profits. Become a Flipster with Buy It, Sell It, Make Money, and carefully build your own personal wealth as you live a more rewarding and fulfilling life-starting today!

* This is not a common book explaining on ways to make money but the tips and strategies it used really has help me on how to find a really cheap product and sell it high.
* After reading this ebook, I make lots of profit from my eBay business. * I wish I had read this book earlier so that I make money at home when I was young. * Trading is a good business in nature. The best thing of all you may not need your own product at the beginning. This book will help you where to get that cheap product to sell. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-11-12 05:49:53 EST)

Reviewed by Josef F. Buenker for Reader Views (2/08)
I don't know if I'll actually ever do it, but this book made me want to buy things in order to sell them on eBay. Daren and Nancy Baughman, the authors, are in the auction, resale and eBay business. Nancy's (she seems to be the primary author) interest and enthusiasm for her business clearly shows. Although in certain parts the book had some spelling and grammatical errors, the author/editor's apparent reliance on spellcheck does not detract from the book. "Buy It, Sell It, Make Money" does a nice job of explaining the business of buying and selling "luxury" goods - the term "luxury" being determined by the reader's own lifestyle. Whether one is interested in trading up an item he or she already owns by selling it and buying a better model or one wants to acquire something new, this book could be of great assistance in the process. After a general explanation of the best venues to acquire and sell various types of items (buying and selling furniture is somewhat different than dealing in modern art), the authors give the reader a very handy guide to the best brand names in a number of common "luxury" item categories, ranging from art to clothing to jewelry to toys. This book was an interesting read. Anyone who has ever had aspirations of being in the resale or retail business will probably find "Buy It, Sell It, Make Money" interesting.

My husband and I have been selling on ebay for about three years now, and we're always looking for new information to help improve our business. This book gave us a lot of great ideas which we put into action the first week after reading. It's an easy book to read and understand, and we both couldn't put it down until we were finished reading. If you're not into ebay, it also gives great advise on other avenues for selling your goods. Buy this book, you'll be pleased!

This is a great book that I recommend. I purchased the book for the guide but it provided so much more. I have been selling on eBay part time but was always in need of things to sell - NO MORE. Thanks to this book, my husband and I went to our first storage shed auction (recommended by the authors) and we purchased one full of great things. Inside the shed we purchased are some great antiques, some very nice china, some English porcelain figurines, tools but the best was a jewelry box. The jewelry box had 2 14kt gold necklaces and a 14kt gold ring with a beautiful ruby. It also was filled with tons of very nice costume jewelry! We are going to make a ton of money off this one purchase - thank you Daren and Nancy for this wonderful book - I Bought it - I'm selling it - and I am MAKING MONEY -- YA

I am very excited about this book - I have only had it for two weeks and I have already made back three times the money of what I paid for the book! The advice is straightforward and the Good, Better, Best guide in the back helps me find the right items to buy so I don't make mistakes or miss opportunities. This is not one of those get-rich-quick books -that tells people to invest in real estate or the stock market. This is a great book about reselling (or Being a Flipster) everyday items and luxury items -that can be found at auctions, garage sales and flea-markets. I started out with just $10.00 on my first trip and was able to buy great stuff for resale. ! It is very exciting to be able to buy something and then resell it for a profit. It is like going to Las Vegas and pulling down the arm on a winning slot machine - but you win EVERYTIME
